  1. attached dvd writer will not function after windows update


    Hello. I have purchased a small HP all in one desktop for small document writing and web surfing. After a recent windows 10 update the dvd writer that came as part of the machine has gone missing. Buy that I mean it is not recognized in device manager except under show hidden devices, which will do nothing for me in fact it wont even open itself for me, I had to use the pin method to find out it was empty. It just all disappeared after a microsoft update. I am about to find out if I can put a usb burner on the system but would much rather have my computer working properly.

    Any suggestion would be helpful.

    Thank you all in advance.

    :)

    Suddenly Windows 10 see my dvd writer but non that much.

    I have been googling to find hints about the problem I'm experiencing, but the complication has survived some fixing attempts. Here I refer to Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17763.107] and TSSTcorp SH-222AB CD DVD writer. Product's drivers are not available on manufacturer' s web site Home - ODD Support English Toshiba- Samsung Download CenterODD Support English . Any advice will be very welcomed ! Thanks !

    STEP 1
    All of a sudden, File Explorer's left panel can't see the DVD driver, but the one on the right can. See fig. 1 and fig. 2 .

  3. LG 24x External DVD Writer/GE24 does not load

    Hi

    Welcome and thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you to check if the DVD Writer is detected and listed in Device Manager.

    Method 1: Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter.

    If the DVD Writer is not listed in the Device Manager, let us run the Hardware and Device troubleshooter.

      • Type troubleshooting in the search box on taskbar.
      • Click on Troubleshooting in the search results.
      • Click on Hardware and Sound and select Hardware and Devices and click on
        Next to run the troubleshooter.

    Method 2: Update DVD-ROM drivers and check.

    If the DVD Writer is listed in the Device Manager, lets Update the DVD-ROM driver.


    • Press Windows key + R on the Keyboard.

    • Type in devmgmt.msc and click on
      Ok
      .

    • Select the Graphic driver from the list by extending
      DVD/CD-ROM drivers.

    • Right click on the Graphic driver and click on
      Update driver Software.

    Hope it helps.

    Let us know the status, we are glad to assist you further.
